Depth Determination of Individual Shallow NV-Centers via Spin-Lock NMR

Aaron Daniel, Beat Bürgler, Patrick Maletinsky +1

Quantitative quantum sensing with shallow electron spins, such as those hosted by nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, requires accurate knowledge of the spin's depth below th…

Quantum theory of a three-photon Kerr parametric oscillator

Alessandro Bruno, Patrick P. Potts, Alexander Grimm +1

We investigate the quantum properties of a nonlinear Kerr oscillator driven by a three-photon pump. We derive both exact and approximate analytical expressions for the ground state…

Prodiabatic Elimination: Higher Order Elimination of Fast Variables with Quantum Noise

Jan Neuser, Marcelo Janovitch, Matteo Brunelli +1

We introduce the prodiabatic elimination, a powerful approximation technique that systematically extends the adiabatic elimination of fast degrees of freedom in light-matter couple…

Bridging Quantum and Semi-Classical Thermodynamics in Cavity QED

Marcelo Janovitch, Sander Stammbach, Matteo Brunelli +1

In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), photons leaving the cavity can be irreversibly lost or reused as a power source. This dichotomy is reflected in two different thermodynamic…

Path Integral Approach to Input-Output Theory

Aaron Daniel, Matteo Brunelli, Aashish A. Clerk +1

Input-output theory is a well-known tool in quantum optics and ubiquitous in the description of quantum systems probed by light. Owing to the generality of the setup it describes,…

A Quantum Mechanical Pendulum Clock

Matteo Brunelli, Mohammad Mehboudi, Nicolas Brunner +1

We investigate an optomechanical system as a model of an autonomous mechanical pendulum clock in the quantum regime, whose operation relies only on incoherent (thermal) resources.…

Quantum thermodynamics of continuous feedback control

Kacper Prech, Joël Aschwanden, Patrick P. Potts

The laws of thermodynamics are a cornerstone for describing nanoscale and open quantum systems. However, formulating these laws for systems under continuous feedback control and un…

Active Quantum Reservoir Engineering: Using a Qubit to Manipulate its Environment

Marcelo Janovitch, Matteo Brunelli, Patrick P. Potts

Quantum reservoir engineering leverages dissipative processes to achieve desired behavior, with applications ranging from entanglement generation to quantum error correction. There…

A Thermodynamic Framework for Coherently Driven Systems

Max Schrauwen, Aaron Daniel, Marcelo Janovitch +1

The laws of thermodynamics are a cornerstone of physics. At the nanoscale, where fluctuations and quantum effects matter, there is no unique thermodynamic framework because thermod…

Quantum Thermodynamics

Patrick P. Potts

The theory of quantum thermodynamics investigates how the concepts of heat, work, and temperature can be carried over to the quantum realm, where fluctuations and randomness are fu…
